Thanks for the review but I'm a little sad that only one person reviewed... anyway here's the next chappie!

The helicopters were still after me. But losing helicopters the cheap helicopters ITEX invented is really easy if you're a skilled flyer. Mountains were approaching in the distance and I had just lost the helicopters.
I found a descent cave high up in the mountains. I landed in the mouth of the cave and seen some hot coals in a small fire. I was a little spooked at first but I shrugged it off.
My stomach grumbled and I realized that I was about to die of starvation. I ripped through my bag and took out both burgers and started ripping at the paper. A small whimper slipped through my teeth as they sunk into the first burger. It tasted so good.
I grabbed some sticks and through them in with the hot coals and started a tiny fire to heat them up. I dropped my coke in the restaurant so I didn't have anything to drink. I needed something to eat tomorrow so I saved the last one.
When I finished I crawled into the corner and fell asleep. Yawning, I looked out the cave and saw the sun coming up. It was so beautiful. The fire was out so I had to eat the last burger cold. It still tasted good even with me knowing how old it is.
I glanced at my bag and it looked empty. I opened it up and there were some wrappers, a bank card, and food stains. I needed to back to town and continue on my quest.
Enough with all the distractions do what you are being sent to do, my voice complained. I got this voice 3 months ago when I escaped.
Alright, but do you want me to live to do what I need to do?, I answered back. It didn't answer as usual, I shrugged and opened my wings and took off heading toward the small town.
Flying is amazing. The sky was clear and the sun was warming my back side. The town was a few miles from where I was.
A strip mall came into view and I landed in an alley beside it. Perfect place to go shopping; not to crowded. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before but I can shape shift. I morphed into a male teen with black hair and freckles. The bad thing about this is I can't morph my wings.
I tucked my wings in and put my torn jacket. I picked my bag up and slung it over my shoulder and walked casually to the mall.
Inside there was a large fountain in the middle of the mall and a huge glass sky light above it. I saw a drug store, clothing store and a grocery store. The grocery store looked the most promising so I walked in. I mainly needed food that can travel and maybe a notebook and pencil to write down what I know about ITEX's new plans.
I walked down an isle with alot of packaged food. Perfect, I thought. I grabbed some beef jerky, and some trail mix. I found some bottled water and took 5 bottles. I wandered a little more and found a cheap notebook that came with a pencil. It all cost 10.55. I paid with the bankcard I stole from the whitecoats, cracking the password was a piece of cake. I took my bag of supplies and headed to the door.
I sat on the bench near the fountain to see if I got everything I needed.
CRASH!!
Glass from the skylight showered my head. I looked up to see Sabians jumping down to greet me.
" You can run but you can't hide." one Sabian taunted.
" Say goodbye." another said before he lunged himself at me. I dodged him with the bag still in my hand. Everyone had already fled from the mall and it was just the Sabians and I. I morphed back into myself and shoved the bag into my backpack. I was out numbered by about 300 to 1. I find that unfair but Sabians would disagree.
I bolted out the door and ran down the street. Cars were honking angrily because I was running in the middle of the street and a herd of Sabians was following me. I took off my jacket and opened my wings faster than ever before. I took off but these new Sabians had wings and major flying skills. They were determined to kill me.
